AI Answer Brand Monitor: ChatGPT, Copilot, Google AI Overviews

Find out whether ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot and Google AI Overviews mention your brand when your customers ask them for a recommendation. For each prompt and each engine, this Actor reports whether the brand was mentioned, its position when the answer lists options, the competitors the answer named, the sources it cited and whether your own domain was among them.

Powered by cloro for ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot answers, as ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot answer users. Google AI Overviews come from Google search results through DataForSEO.

Not affiliated with or endorsed by OpenAI, Microsoft or Google. ChatGPT, Copilot and Google are trademarks of their owners.

Who it is for

• SEO and GEO analysts tracking "AI share of voice" for a brand or a client.
• Agencies reporting which prompts mention a client, which competitors are named instead, and which pages the assistants cite.
• Brand and content teams checking whether new pages start getting cited.

Example output

One real result from a test run on 2026-10-20 (cited sources cut to three of 25, one of them on the brand's domain). HubSpot and the other brands here are named as the AI answer named them; AppGild is not affiliated with them.

• Competitors to watch (optional).

Use from an AI agent / MCP

Agents can call this Actor as a tool through Apify's MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com) or the Apify API, by its ID appgild/ai-answer-brand-monitor. Every input except the brand and its prompts has a default, and every row is plain JSON with the fields above.

{
  "brand": "HubSpot",
  "domain": "hubspot.com",
  "prompts": [
    "What is the best CRM for a small business?"
  ],
  "competitors": [
    "Salesforce",
    "Pipedrive"
  ],
  "engines": [
    "chatgpt",
    "copilot",
    "google_ai_overview"
  ]
}

The results are the run's default dataset, one row per prompt and engine. The run's summary (checks made, failed and not made, with its status message) is the OUTPUT record in the run's key-value store.

Pricing

Pay per result: $0.03 per prompt checked on one engine (prompt-engine-check). Three engines on 50 prompts is 150 checks, $4.50. Apify platform usage is billed to you as well.

You are charged only for checks that came back. A check that fails at the data source is saved with its error and is not charged. Set a maximum charge on the run and the Actor stops before it would go over it.

Limits

• Up to 200 prompts per run (prompts and keywords together). A longer list is cut, and the run's status message says how many were not checked or charged.
• Daily capacity: the Actor has a daily data budget shared by all its users. When it is used up, runs stop cleanly with a status message, charge nothing more, and work again after 00:00 UTC.
• ChatGPT and Copilot answers have their own daily capacity, shared by all users. When it is reached, those checks come back with status: "capacity_reached" and a "try again tomorrow" message, are not charged, and Google AI Overview checks carry on.
• Only a few ChatGPT and Copilot answers are asked at once across all users. When every slot stays busy for a few minutes, the remaining ChatGPT and Copilot checks come back with status: "capacity_reached" and a "try again later" message, and are not charged.
• ChatGPT answers can take a minute or more, and Google AI Overview checks are queued (usually a few minutes), so a large run can take a while.
• Mentions, list positions and names are read from the answer's own text: its numbered lists, tables, headings and bullets. They are careful heuristics, not a human reading: a brand written very differently from its name, or a list in an unusual layout, can be missed.
• AI answers change from day to day and from person to person. One run is a sample, not a permanent ranking.
